The ideal thinking is that in products of the future, modular design
will allow reuse of some components. I believe there are local authority
run schemes in Germany already refurbing domestic appliances etc. where
items like pumps and motors can readily be re-used.
I guess the clause was put in as a catch all, and in the draft UK regs
it says in 33(2)
..........shall identify as far as it is needed by reuse centres,
treatment and recycling centres.
One idea is take your product to a recycler and see what they would do
with it.

Chris

Hi Chris, IPC LF Listservers,
I hope you are right,
yet why did they word the WEEE Directive in this manner.
Here in the US I can't imagine that a recycler would use any of the
documentation. Major parts, a few legislated, and major obvious
categories
(paperboard, clear glass, green glass, steel cans, brass, etc) where
they
can make more money via separating is the way that I have seen these
yards
work.
It seems like the EU's governing body had other intentions for the
various "reuse centres, treatment and recycling facilities" when they
wrote
WEEE Article:11 $1.
Yours in Engineering, Dave

<I wouldn't go to great lengths on deconstruct docs as in most cases the
item will be shredded and any recycler worth their salt is not going to
need the info nor will have time to contact every mfr for the info.
<
The main items to document are the ones which will need to be removed
prior to shredding such as batteries and large 25x25 alu elec caps.>
